CINCINNATI -- Receiver Chris Henry was allegedly involved in an altercation with a parking attendant on the eve of rejoining the Cincinnati Bengals from his eight-game suspension.

Henry practiced with the Bengals on Wednesday and will be eligible to play Sunday in Baltimore. Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the first half of the season for repeatedly violating the NFL's conduct policy.

The third-year receiver stayed out of trouble during the suspension and was allowed to practice with the team for the last two weeks. He sat out a 33-21 loss in Buffalo on Sunday that dropped his last-place team to 2-6.

On Tuesday night, police in Newport, Ky., a suburb on the other side of the Ohio River within view of Paul Brown Stadium, were called to an entertainment district following a dispute over a parking fee.

A parking attendant told police that Henry and another man parked their sport utility vehicle without paying. According to an incident report, the attendant said Henry argued loudly with him and said, "Don't you know who I am?"

The attendant told police that Henry threw a $5 bill on the ground, but it was returned to him and police were called.

My question is .. do these players now a days get any sort of character building? If I pulled the **** he did, I would hope that I would be humbled and try to prove to the world that I want to right the public perception ..

Living in the Southern Ohio area in "Bengals country", it's not really a surprise to anyone. The majority of the talk is about Chad Johnson right now, and the 2-6 record. The parking attendant could have provoked him, knowing who he was. It would be a bigger deal if they were 5-3 making a push for the division. But it is funny:yes:
